As part of our “No Place for Hate” program, we are looking forward
to participating in the Kindness Challenge from January
28th-February 1st. The students will work together as a class to
complete activities to show kindness such as, asking a new friend to
play, helping someone, writing a thank you note, or performing a
kind act of their own design. Teachers will have daily discussions,
read stories, and watch short video clips about showing kindness,
inclusion, and respect.

Additionally, we will show kindness in our community by hosting a
toiletries drive to benefit The Center for Children and Young Adults
AND SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center. With the help of our
Student Council, we will be collecting items such as shampoo,
toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, etc. These items will go to children
in our community. A flyer with more information will come home
about this.

We will also have some fun by dressing up to the following themes
each day.

Monday - Hats off to kindness (wear
hats)

Tuesday - Being kind is groovy (wear 70s
clothes)

Wednesday - Kindness Rocks (wear rock
star clothes)

Thursday - Cougars are Kind (wear Cougar
Pride or school colors)

Friday - Cheer for Kindness (wear sports
clothes)
